Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : More comprehensive answer

It's not that complicated really, although I admit that neither is it ver documented, at least not where I've been looking.

Short version:

In Java or LotusScript agents that create emails that you do not want to be identified as the originator for, you can use the following fields to achieve this to various degrees and in various settings:

* ReplyTo = This is the field that decides what address normally will pop up when the receiver of the e-mail client presses "Reply". However, it seems not all mail clients use this field. See below.

* From = This is the field that decides what address will show as the originator of the e-mail in a typical "Inbox" or when viewing of the actual e-mail.

* Principal = This is a field that lets you set both of the fields ReplyTo and From in one go.

* INetFrom = This field lets you set which mail address will show in the "Return-Path" field that Internet mail uses. Some mail clients seem to use this one instead of "ReplyTo", so you will want to set this one as well if you don't really know which clients will receive your e-mails. This field has no effect on mail viewed in a Notes client.

* DisplaySent = This field HAS effect on mail viewed in a Notes client, and seems to be the Notes equivalent of "INetFrom"

Now, when you set values for these fields, the first three, in Domino 6, need an address on the form

Real Name<real.name@domain.com@NotesDomain>

while the latter two MUST have an address on the simple Internet mail format,

real.name@domain.com

At least that's my experience after fiddling around for a couple of hours now. Hopefully I will find this message the next time I need this. #:D)
